The Packers put up a good fight against the 49ers in the divisional round game and dominated to a point where they should’ve walked away a winner.

Following the game, Warner and Love approached each other on the field and shared a moment of respect.
“So much respect, bro,” Warner told Love. “Proud of you, for real. Keep going, boy.”
Love responded with similar sentiments, but added that the 49ers to “go win it, man.”
The 49ers, who trailed for much of the second half in the game, retook the lead with 1:07 to play on a 6-yard Christian McCaffrey touchdown run that put them ahead by three.
